Fully configurable as Sorry... but... the terms "backup", "secure" and "cloud" do not belong in the same sentence. If it's in a public cloud then it can be compromised by a third party bad actor. Witness the Code Spaces breach. Not saying you shouldn't use public cloud storage; saying you should be cautious in your trust of it. On the subject of Clonezilla: it's not a backup tool. It's an imaging tool. It can be used as part of a backup system: the physical volume analogue to copying a virtual machine's vdisk files to other storage. Using it this way is cumbersome on Linux systems where realistically the only thing that needs a low-level copy is the boot block of the boot device and that only once. It would be more useful on a dual-boot Windows/Linux machine using Clonezilla command line to clone the Windows system volumes. -- Rich Pieri _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
